How the course works
You are taught by experienced instructors, and we aim to make you a competent instructor with confidence, not only to pass the IE. The IDC can be scheduled to fit your timetable on a one-to-one basis, and is a way into PADI Assistant Instructor (AI). After the IDC, add PADI Specialty Instructor.

The Tsereve Challenge: Everest in reverse
100+ metres is the Mount Everest of scuba diving. Far fewer people have dived that deep than have stood on top of Everest. Join the challenge: training, warm-up dives and the descent to 100+ m. Start from zero or from any point in your diving, even as a Tec Trimix 65 diver.
The final programme includes a certificate and a t-shirt. We run it in cooperation with Dive Aqaba.
